Meet at the Parkman Bandstand
Across the country—from fruit fields in California to classrooms in Chicago, from kitchens in Queens to loading docks in Atlanta—working people are rising up. We are demanding a country that puts our families over their fortunes—public schools over private profits, healthcare over hedge funds, housing over homelessness.
This May Day, labor and activists across the country will gather in solidarity to continue the fight to defend our rights, our values, and our democracy. We are standing united. We're organizing for a world where every family has housing, healthcare, fair wages, union protection, and safety—regardless of race, zip code, or immigration status.
They’re defunding our schools, privatizing public services, attacking unions, and targeting immigrant families with fear and violence. This is a war on working people—and we will not stand down.
This May Day, we will turn the page. This is the beginning of a new era—one where working families lead, immigrants are protected, and no one is left behind. This is not charity. This is not a request. We are reclaiming our power from corporate elites, and we will not be intimidated by Trump, Musk, or their billionaire backers. They’ve ruled for too long. Their time is up.
Gather with allies on the Boston Common for a peaceful demonstration and march to show this administration that we are united—and we're not going anywhere.
STOP THE BILLIONAIRE TAKEOVER. WE ARE THE MANY. THEY ARE THE FEW. THIS IS MAY DAY, JOIN US.
We will demand:
End the billionaire looting! Fully fund public services - like public education, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid!
Fund people’s needs not the war machine in Gaza!
Full protections and legalization for immigrants now! No deportations! No raids!
Free Rumeysa, Mahmoud, Kilmar, and others abducted by ICE!
Protect free speech and academic independence!
Stop police brutality! End the abuse of power!
Protect labor’s rights to unionize, organize and strike!
